Boys Save Young Girl From Drowning And Are Rewarded With Burgers For Life

Jul 04, 2021

Jackson, Missouri resident Aiden Kyle saved a little girl’s life on May 17, 2020, after she was trapped inside a culvert. Because of his brave act, Aiden, along with his three other friends who helped, are being rewarded with a lifetime of burgers from the little girl's parents' restaurant, Kenny's Flippin Burgers.

Rivers and creeks are popular local areas where residents often meet to have fun and swim — both kids and adults. They are mostly deemed safe, and they usually allow people to have fun without a worry in the world. However, these silent natural water reservoirs can also be dangerous when it comes to younger, weaker swimmers.

Not so long ago, a small group of boys, all hailing from Jackson, Missouri, experienced a wild weekend. They chose a sunny day to go to the local park and swim as usual at the local creek. The boys’ favorite fun spot usually was at the Hubble Creek located within Jackson City Park. The area had received a lot of rainfall earlier on, which contributed to the high levels of water at the creek.

The water had risen too high, concealing the bridge. At this point, it was already a recipe for disaster. But this could not stop the kids from having their planned fun. Unfortunately, there was a girl nearby swimming in the water who vanished as the four boys played. One of the young lads noticed that the little girl had vanished and notified the entire group.

Aiden Kyle, the young lad who first identified this mystery, narrated his ordeal:

“We were all at the park. It was raining, and the water was higher, over the bridge, and we were all swimming, splashing and having fun. There was a little girl, and we were all wondering where she went.”

Kinsley Stuart, identified as the young girl who suddenly went missing, was carried away by the strong currents and forced under the bridge, according to reports by WAFB 9 News.

The brave young lad, Aiden, continued, "I saw her hand on top of the bridge part, so I jumped in, and I grabbed (onto it).” While he struggled to lift his weight and that of Kinsley against the strong currents in the creek, he noticed that it was a little too much for him. So, he turned to his friend Isaiah Randol and called for help to assist him in saving Kinsley.

Describing the situation, Isaiah said, "He was getting sucked in with her, so I jumped in, and I grabbed her hand with him, and we both pulled.”

He further commented,

“Then the other two boys jumped in, and it took four boys to pull this girl out because it was that strong.”

After some struggle, the four boys and the young girl were able to pull out of the water successfully without sustaining any major injuries. Kinsley, who was in the water a little longer, had to be rushed to the hospital for a few examinations and check-ups to ensure that she was indeed okay. She was later discharged. Kinsley’s parents had to acknowledge the boys' brave efforts after saving their daughter and went ahead to gift them.

Kinsley’s mom, Casey Stuart, revealed:

“We do want to say thank you to the boys from Kenny's. We own Kenny’s Flippin Burgers. And we want to let you boys know that you guys can eat with us forever, for free. Because there is no amount of money that can ever be put on what you did.”

This could have ended badly were it not for these brave young men. What do you think about this ordeal? Let us know — and inspire your friends and family members by passing this story on.
